UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

TexRN, BSN, RN · Jan 10, 2015

Congrats! That is a great score! I was unsure if I was supposed to send the scores to Nursing Cas or the SON.

Thanks! Yea, I had gone over to the school last week and asked the lady at the desk, and she told me that when you register, there's an option to have your scores sent to your choice of schools. When I went to do so, I saw the UTHSCSA listed there. I think you can still send them if you didn't before, but I'm not sure if it'll cost extra or not.

I wish I would have seen that! kicking myself because now to send it is $27

Congrats Herrington! That's an awesome score

Guys we only have about a month left until we start hearing back. I can't wait :blink:

Hi everybody, I have a NursingCas-related question. I am a fourth semester student at UTHSCSA and I am currently applying to the FNP program. I know this is not the right thread, but we are all using the same application through NursingCas and with the same deadline i believe(and i cannot find a thread for the fnp program) so maybe somebody will be able to answer my question. Does your application say VERIFIED or DELIVERED??? Mine has been stuck at "verified" for a month! Is it normal?? I paid and submitted everything on December 11! Tried to write to NursingCas and no response

stephfutureRN06 · Jan 14, 2015

Manuela, from my understanding, once it is verified, that is when your application is submitted and available for the nursing schools of your choice

Yes, I actually just received the response from NursingCAS. For some reason I thought it was gonna say something like "delivered"

TexRN, BSN, RN · Jan 16, 2015

I just submitted my nursingCAS application! What now? Just wait?

It seems like this thread is so tiny compared to last year's. I wonder if it is indicative that not many people are applying?

I just got an email from NursingCAS saying they got my last transcript(s), so I'll be going over everything one last time tonight/tomorrow, then submit it in the next day or two. I just hope it doesn't kick back with an error or something; that would be a drag.

Yes, ratlady, I believe that, at this point, it becomes a waiting game for a supplemental application which, judging from last year's applicants, didn't arrive until sometime in mid-late March, and then the conditional acceptance letters apparently didn't show up until April. When I spoke with one of the admissions people at the school, they said that when you submit your application, all of your contact info that you entered (phone, email, etc.) will be sent along with it, and that's how UTHSCSA will get in touch with you/us.

And yea, I kind of hope that the "lack of activity" is a sign that not too many applied; it gives us a better chance of getting in!

TexRN, BSN, RN · Jan 17, 2015

Well I hope they use my e-mail address because I totally submitted my application with the wrong phone number. UGH. Whoops. Maybe I can call, because they haven't even given me a GPA yet so obviously it hasn't been sent in to the school.

Good luck on your test. I think you will do fine. I had to take my TEAS twice too since the first time I took it I got a 69.3 and knew that wasn't competitive enough. So I retook it in November and got a 77.3 I think its just about getting used to the testing strategy.
Keep us updated!

well I retook the test and went from a 63% to a 70%

. I am bummed about it, but a bit happy that I scored higher.. I will keep my hopes up...but not going to be too disappointed if I don't get accepted like last time. I really hope they see that I at least scored higher. (one can dream..lol) I really want this school!!!
